Answer:

15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If the walker's speed is W, then the biker's speed is 2.5W. In 2 hours, the walker can travel 2W miles while the biker travels 5W. Since 5W-2W=18, 3W=18 and W=6. So the biker travels at a speed of 15 mph.

Answer:

The speed of the biker is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you call the speed of the walker x, and the speed of the biker 2.5x.

Then you know that speed times time equals distance, so you set up and equation. You do x times 2, which is 2x, and then 2.5x times 2, which is 5x. Then, since the distance between them is 18 miles, the equation would be 5x-2x=18. You would get 3x=18, and x is 6. So 6 is the speed of the walker, and 6 times 2.5 = 15, so the speed of the biker is 15.

What is 0.04 km, 420 cm, 4,600 mm, and 4.3 meters in order from least to greatest
Paul [167]

Answer:

420 cm, 4.3 meters, 4600 mm, 0.04 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by converting each to the same unit. I will be using meters.

0.04 km

1 km = 1000 meters

1000 meters / 1 km = 1

multiply 0.04 km by 1 = 1000 meters / 1 km , keeping the km at the bottom to cross out

0.04 km * 1000 meters / 1 km = 40 meters

420 cm

100 cm = 1 meter

1 meter / 100 cm = 1

multiply 420 cm by this, keeping cm at the bottom so it crosses out

420 cm * 1 meter / 100 cm = 4.2 meters

4600 mm

1000 mm = 1 meter

1 meter / 1000 mm = 1

4600 mm * 1 meter / 1000 mm = 4.6 meters

Therefore, our order is

420 cm, 4.3 meters, 4600 mm, 0.04 km

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. The cards have 4 different suits: clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. For each suit
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

a. 108336, b. 480200

Step-by-step explanation:

a. No. of ace cards = 4

No. of non ace cards= 48

We draw 5 cards

So,

No. of ways of 2 aces = C(4,2) C(48,3)

No. of ways of 3 aces = C(4,3) C(48,2)

No. of ways of 4 aces = C(4,4) C(48,1)

Hence

No. of ways of 2 or more aces

= C(4,2) + C(48,3) + C(48,3) + C(4,3)C(48,2) +C(4,4)C(48,1)

= 6(17296) + 4(1128) + (48)

= 108336

b. No of ways any 5 cards can be chosen = C(52,5)

No. of ways kings of diamonds or queen of hearts is chosen = C(50,5)

Hence

No. of ways of choosing king of diamonds, queen of hearts or both = C(52,5) – C(50,5)

= 480200

A sheet of cardboard 12 inches square is used to make an open box by cutting out squares of equal size from the four corners and
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

x=6+3\sqrt{2} is the size of the square

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the square cut from the cardboard be “x”

Size of the square base = 12 -2x, height of the box = x

Volume of square box = Area * height = (12-2x)^2 * x

Differentiating the above equation and equating it to zero, we get –  

d/dx ((12-2x)^2 * x)

d/dx{(144 + 4x^2 -48x)*x}= d/dx (144x + 4x^3 -48x^2)

d/dx (144x + 4x^3 -48x^2) = 0

144+8x^2-96X= 0\\18 +X^2-12X = 0

On solving above equation, we get –  

x=6+3\sqrt{2}  \\ x=6-3\sqrt{2}
